Freddo fans have been debating online as to whether they taste different to full-size Dairy Milk bars.

The makers of the chocolate bars, Cadbury, has now waded in with a reply.

It all started when a TikTok page called 'Omm - Fun Facts' shared a video that said she thinks Freddos taste better and claimed it was because they were made in Ireland to the "original" Cadbury recipe.

She says that Dairy Milk chocolate is made in Birmingham to an amended recipe.

In the TikTok post she said: "Recently have you eaten a Cadbury’s Dairy Milk and then had a Freddo and wondered why the Freddo tastes better than the Dairy Milk?

"Well Freddos are actually made in Ireland, making them nicer, smoother and milkier compared to the Dairy Milk made in Birmingham.

"This is because they still make it the original way, whereas Birmingham changed it when they were taken over.

"Let me know if you taste the difference."

People commented agreeing: “I actually do taste it, it tastes more like chocolate.”

Another wrote: “Yes! I buy Freddos instead of other Cadbury for this exact reason.”

This person agreed: “I've been saying this for years, I feel vindicated.”

One person wasn't having it: “They only changed the chocolate recipe on Creme Eggs. Other Cadbury chocolate is still made as it always has been. You are very incorrect.”

Cadbury has told The Sun that the recipe remains the same, whether it is made in Birmingham or Ireland.

A spokesperson said: "We’re really sorry to bust any myths but the recipe of Cadbury Dairy Milk actually hasn’t changed - whether it’s made in Bournville or Ireland- and has remained a closely guarded secret for nearly 200 years.

"Sometimes the local milk we source can make our beloved Cadbury products taste a little creamier but that’s the only difference."

Do you agree?
